Getting the message
| Wednesday, September 24th, 2008 | --Sean |
I neglected to write about Yahoo! oneConnect when it first launched, because I sadly still do not own an iPhone and thus cannot test it out. However, I can at least appreciate it in the context of a phone feature with which I do have extensive negative experience -- text messaging. Because, in this day and age, it makes sense to pay $0.20 to send a couple hundred bytes? What? But oneConnect gracefully brings free Yahoo! Messenging to your iPhone, obviating the need for the ridiculous SMS plans, and layers on top of it far-reaching address book management and feed-type updates from all of your friends across a bunch of social networks. As advertised, it does exactly what you'd expect -- gives you one way to stay connected, without busting your wallet along the way. Now, that's a message I can appreciate.
